...

"You're bandit Keith." Tea gasped in shock. What was he doing there?

"Keith? What the hell are you doing here?" Seto took the words out of her mouth. Keith laughed in response.

"I came here looking for money. I never expected to win the lottery." Keith snickered. Seto growled.

"What do you want?" Tea asked, tightening her grip on Seto for support. Keith was a sick individual. She shuddered, recalling the time in Duelist Kingdom when he had heartlessly trapped them in a cave.

"From you? There might be something." Keith eyed her petite form with lustful eyes. Seto growled and stood before her, shielding her form his hungry gaze.

"If you don't want trouble, then I suggest you leave Keith." Seto said through clenched teeth.

"I don't want trouble. No. Trouble is the last thing I want." Keith replied coyly.

"Then why are you bothering us? Leave us alone." Tea spoke from behind Seto.

"See, I can't do that. You're going to be my income source or lottery ticket, say whatever you want." Keith said. Tea was confused.

"What do you mean?" She asked. He laughed at her innocence.

"I know all about your dirty little secret Tea." Keith said in a singsong voice. Tea's face went pale. How could he know? Was he lying?

"What secret?" Seto demanded.

"About you cheating on Wheeler's little sister. What her name? Sanity… ranity…saranity… ah yes, Serenity, was it not?" Keith said. Tea's hands began shaking. Keith knew. He wasn't lying. He knew.

"Stop talking nonsense." Seto quickly denied, but Keith knew better.

"Don't think I am some stupid moron like Joey. I know you are dating her but are cheating on her with Tea, her best friend." His words made Tea feel ashamed and guilty. Keith noticed her reaction and continued.

"How ironic. I thought you were a good girl, one who would never hurt her friends. But here you are, stabbing your friend in her back, kissing her boyfriend when she is just a few feet away. Tsk, Tsk. I didn't expect that from you." Keith mocked, enjoying the guilt and pain he was causing.

"That's not true. I… I…" Tea began in a shaking voice. She wanted to defend herself against his accusation. But try as she might, she could not find words to justify her actions. He was telling the truth.

"Don't listen to him Tea." Seto whispered calmly to her, already knowing what havoc the Keith's words must be wreaking on her mind. He must get her away from him and fast. He turned back to Keith.

"And what are you going to do about it?" Seto demanded.

"Nothing… as of yet." Keith replied very casually. "But that doesn't mean I won't do anything later." He was clearly enjoying this. Playing mind games was always so much fun.

"What… what can you do?" Tea asked, fearing the worst.

"Well Tea, think of what will happen if Serenity found out about this. How will she take this news of betrayal… from her boyfriend and her best friend? How will she react? Maybe she'll cry for a couple of days… maybe she'll hurt you or worst, she'll hurt herself." Tea could almost imagine his words coming to reality. That could happen if their secret relationship was revealed. Horror reflected on her face as she thought about it more. Seto noticed Tea's colorless face and knew exactly what she was thinking.

"Shut up Keith." Seto growled in a warning tone. But Keith, enjoying the situation, continued.

"And how will Joey react if his little sister is hurt like that by you? How will he look at you, the person who caused his baby sister so much pain? How will he treat you?"

"Keith, I'm warning you." Seto said once again.

"And what about Yugi? He trusts you more then anyone else. What will he think of you then? How will he treat you?" Keith spoke further.

"Please stop." Tea begged as tears began forming in her eyes.

"Their hearts will break, just like their trust in you. They'll never look at you the same way again. They'll never treat you the same way again. They'll never talk to you again. They'll accuse you of treachery, of treason, of betrayal, of mistrust, and of lying." Keith was on a roll.

"Stop." Tea screamed as her body nearly collapsed to the ground. Seto held her firmly, not letting her fall as she sobbed into his chest. A satisfied smirk appeared on Keith's lips.

"All that can happen… if I tell them." He said. Seto glared at him with fiery eyes.

"Name your price." Seto said. He knew what kind of a person Keith was, and knew money would shut him up.

"Now we're talking." Keith said happily. "I think I've caused enough damage for today, so I'll leave for now." Keith said. "But not empty handed."

"How much?" Seto asked, taking out his checkbook with one hand, while his other hand held Tea.

"Five grand for now. We can decided the rest later." Keith said causally. Seto clenched his teeth in anger. His $5000 was being wasted on a jerk.

"Here." Seto said, handing him the check. "Now get out of my sight." He yelled. Keith laughed and left. Seto turned back to Tea, who had stopped crying.

"Are you okay?" He asked her in a concerned voice. Keith had spoken of her worst fears. Seto knew Tea was hurting deeply inside.

"Yeah." She said. "I'm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize. It's that bastard's fault." Seto growled.

"He is blackmailing yo because of me. I'm sorry." Tea said.

"He's blackmailing me but because of us. Don't blame yourself." Seto calmly said. He did not want Tea to feel any worse.

"Because of me, you lost five thousand dollars." She said, feeling the guilt overcome her, again.

"That amount is nothing compared to you." He said fondly.

"Thank you Seto." She said appreciatively.

"Now let's get back to the arcade before the geeks go nuts." Seto said, reminding her of their place.

"Oh yeah." Tea said, remembering that she had excused herself to use the bathroom. Seto kissed her briefly one last time before they parted. Tea went in first and Seto went in after a while.


"Tea, take these files to Mr. Kaiba's office." Said the jealous secretary. Tea had been working at Kaiba Corp. for week now and was the envy of every employee in Kaiba Corp. Seto had been very generous to her ever since she had started. He had never once yelled at her, threatened her, or insulted her in front of anyyone. Also, he had instructed his secretary to give Tea everything that was to be sent to his office. This way, Tea was always coming into his office and being graced by his presence.

"Ok." Tea said indifferently, as if it didn't matter to her. All the other females thrilled at the idea of being in his presence, but Tea pretended as if she didn't care. This was the act she had to put up to keep their feelings secret. Deep inside, she was always hoping for a chance to go into his office.

"And do hurry back this time." The secretary said hotly, in a mocking tone. Tea glared at her and walked towards Seto's office. The nerve of that girl, telling her to hurry back. She never took that long, or maybe she did. Every time she went near him, she lost track of time. His hands and lips always managed to make her stay longer then intended. The jealous and sharp secretary had noticed that and was constantly bothering her about it. Well not this time. She would tell Seto to control today so the stupid secretary won't be able to rub it in her face.

She knocked on his door with a racing heart. Why was it that every time she went near him, her body bubbled with excitement?

"Come in." His sexy voice excited her even more, if that was possible.

"Hi." She smiled at him as she set the files on his large desk. He looked up from his work and smirked at her.

"A "hi"? That's all?" He asked in his deep voice, making her knees go weak.

"Yeah. I've got a lot of work to do, so I have to go." Tea said. He got up and walked towards her.

"I'll just have to change that, won't I?" He whispered in a husky voice, his finger lazily tracing her shoulder and neck. His touch lit her body on fire, and she suppressed a moan.

"Seto… I…" She tried to speak but he claimed her lips with his. All the arguments that had formed in her head flew out the moment his lips touched hers.

She moaned as his tongue darted in her mouth, caressing her insides. Her hands reached up and locked themselves in his brown locks, pulling at them gently, urging him to continue. Her own tongue played with his, much to his pleasure.

Seto growled in his throat in pleasure as he left her lips and sucked on her neck. He picked her small form up and placed her on his large desk. Then he continued his ministrations on her milky skin. Tea tilted her neck to a side, giving him more skin to nip and kiss. With her shaking hands, she opened his shirt buttons, desperately in need of feeling his skin. She sighed when the small buttons opened, and immediately slipped her hands on his chest. At the same time, her lips found his earlobe and sucked on it.

The moment her tongue touched his earlobe, Seto growled like an animal and attacked her lips again with such ferocity that Tea almost fell back in the desk. While his lips ravaged her lips, his hands lifted her shirt to reveal her well-toned stomach. Seto slipped one hand under her shirt and caressed the soft flesh. His other hand massaged her inner thigh, which had been revealed by her hunched up skirt.

Suddenly the door sprang open and in came…
